The above patents showdetails of construction used in con nection with the presentinvention'to such anextent as to make unnecessary the specificdescription oisuch details so that the latter are only generallyreferred to hereinafter.- Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the accountingsection-0f the machine, or the main section, is designated A and theauxiliary section or mechanism P. The section A is i eally'an addingmachine oithe general type shown in'theWVhitepatent aforesaid, while thesection many parts equivalent to or like those of the Runquist patentaforesaid, and also the Brockman patent. The amount keys of theaccounting machine; A are denoted 100, the disabling ke -144, and thereare provided special operation keys at the right-hand side of thekeyboard for totaling, subtotaling, repeating, and'correct ng controlactions of the mechanism. The: accounting section or machine includessuitable listing mechanism'comprising type carriers 13-711, a special;type carrier for characterizing purposes being ;used'and'shown best inFig. 22, and a paper carriage B2095. The depression of' any of the'ke'ysIOOand the forward pulling of the handle of the main actuator B50lresults in. the setting upof a. transaction and the accumulating andprinting of the same after the manner of tlieoperation of the addingmachineof the above identified "Vhit'e patent or indeed after the mannerofall adding machines of the pan ticular type ,shown in said patent. Asshown in Figures 2, a, 20 and21 there is associated with the keyboardmechanism. a

selector mechanism embodying a plurality of selectors 1334, one for eachkey 100. The selector mechanism forms a part of the auxiliary section ofthe 'machine, which auxiliary'section is primarily comprised of threeessential parts, namely, a series of actuators 1307 susceptible of.operation one or-more at a time, actuating means for said actuatorsconsisting of the auxiliary shaft 615- and arms 545, in Figure 2, andmeans operable by the actuators. 130 7 which means involves theattachment shown in Figure 2 comprising the coininagazine B1515 in whichare contained. coins adapted to be directly engaged and ejected by theactuators 1307. The actuators 1307 are ejectors when the auxiliarysection ot the machine is a money handling or paying section. Themagazine 3-1515, however, is susceptible of removal so that a differentattachment consisting for instance of a registering mechanism may besubstituted therefor whereupon the actuators. 1307 are no longerejectors. but are actuators for registering devices of such attachment.The registering attachment is not illustrated but may be of the typedescribed in the application of Scrum and Brockman, Serial Number838,663, filed lVlay 15,19ld.

Then a registering attachment is substituted for the magazine B.151 5,the auxiliary section of'the m'achine is converted'i'rom 'amoneyhandling SQClZlOIlYlIltO a special. calculatingJ or registering section.Moi-especifically speaking the lmoney. handling section acting anxillary to. the accounting. or

' addingmachin e is 'intended to; pay out amounts ofv money"corresponding with amounts set up, accumulated and listed by theoperation of the accounting machine; and in like mannerv the. aunilial ysection as a special calculating.machine is intended, on substitution ofa registeringattachment, for the coin magazine '-B1515,'to register'theleast' number' ot coins or bank notes that are required. to make upan amount set up on the accounting machine. V The manner in whichthemain and auxiliary sections of the machine? are linked together-forconjoint operation will now be described. Klirtually the selectormechanism including the parts 1334 is a linkage betweenthe keys and theactuators 1307 whereby the latter are controlled from the keys, andthere is provided. additionally a linkage consisting of connectionsbetween the main actuator shaft 625 and the auxil iary shaft 615'whereby motion may be transmitted to the actuators 1307 from the mainhandle l3-501. The selectors 133% are formed with hooks attheirright-hand ends-and-are longitudinally movable rightwards as well asmovable lownwardsj by depression of the keys 100. As seen in Figures aand 11 on the main shai't 625 is a cam 625" adapted to engage a rolleron the adjacent end of the lever 523 whereby-to rocksaid lever as thecam is moved by the l1andle.B--5O1. The other end of the lever 523isconnected by-a -link 522'with an arm on the selector shaft 627, seestud connection 522.

.. It will be apparent that when the link 522 is in the full lineposition of Figure 11, rocking of the shaft 625 will rock theselectorshaft 627. Furthermore, if any selectoror selectors 1334 are depressedby their keys,

the hooks at the right-hand ends of said selectors will be engaged withthe bail520. Owing, to the above arrangement of parts the selectors 1334may be pulled longitudinally. to the right by. operation of the handle13-501.

' The selectors 1334, see Figure 2, haveone' or more pro ections 1334extending downwardly therefrom and adapted to engage the bails 1309which are connected to and operate themembers 1307 in. the mannerdescribed in the Runquist patentpreviously identified. Depression of thefive cent key 100 therefore is adapted not only to accumulate and list.the equivalent amount, but 'to set. a selector 1334 controlling one ofthe actuators or ejectors 1307 so that on movement of the handle B-501saidselector 1334 will be pulled.longitudinally and through i a bail}1309 will shift a proper ejector or actuator 1307 so as to connect therear end .of saidzactuator with its: normally spaced" 111 545.; A littlelater inthe moveengage andldisengage respectively in relation to thestud 527 and a spring 604 tends toraise the hook into the desired.engagement of the handle 3:501 the shaft 615 which carries the arms 545is rocked and theypart 1307 previously adjustedis moved outwards topayout a coin. or vregister a piece of money selected to make up apredetermined amount.

The connections between the main shaft 625and the shaft 615 are seenbest in Figure 11. They comprisean arm 504 on the shaft 625 having astud 693 carrying a roller 601. engaged with a bifurcation 526 of anment. 'Obviously as the shaft 625 is rocked forwards, arm 526 is'raised,arm 527 1s carried rearwards, and if the hook 542 is m the path of thestud527 arm 540 will be pulled rearwards and the auxiliary shaft 615rocked tomove the actuators 1307, which maly have been connected witharms 545.

t is by the foregoing described mechanism that conjoint operation of themain and auxiliary sections of the machine is obtainable. Means areprovided. to prevent suchoperat on, however, when the. accountmg machineis. deslred to be; used aloneislumilim'y scctziondi sabling means. 7 hAs seen best in Figures 11 and 12,- the the keyboard plate to hold said@key dedisabling key 144 has a notch 144' to engage pressed. Initsnormal uppermost position thekey 144 is adjusted so that conjointoperation of the instrumentalities ofthe main and auxiliary sectionsjofthe machine is in:

sured. By the depression of the key 144, a stud 282 at its lower end,owing to engagement ina bifurcation of an arm 908, rocks downwards saidarm and correspondingly rocks its shaft 1068 together with asecond arm907 carried by said shaft. means the arm 907 in lowered, and caused Bythis to engage a stud 698' on the hook 542 and thus depresses the hooksufficiently ,to pre: yen't the stud 527 of the arm 527 from, pullmg onthe hook and operating the auxiliary shaft 615, when the main actuatorB501 is operated. Simultaneously with the above action of parts the stud282 of the key144 engages and rocks forward the.arm;161 on the shaft A229. The shaft A-229 carries another arm.163 havinga stud 22 1 engaginga bifurcation of a lever 949 pivotedbetween its ends to an axis 1033.The lowerend of the lever 949 is connected by a horizontal link 9550with the vertical link-522 previously mentioned, andthe rocking oftheparts just referred to, by depressing the key 144 dissengages the stud522' of the link 522 from the arm. 521 ofthe selector'shalft 627,seedotted. line position of link. 522 in Figure 11. Under theforegoing-conditionsit 130131 10118 that the selector shaft'627 and itsj bail 520, together with the auxiliary shaft 615, are incapacitated foroperation owing to assumption of inactive positionsv by the parts 522and 542 respectively. While the described parts are adjusted in themanner stated, the auxiliary section of the machine is disabled and themain or accounting section may be freelyjoperated soasto perform itsregular function or functions alone.

Automatic actuator disabling}. means; Referring to Figures; 10, 11 and;12 especially and to the disabling devices-described .as beingcontrolled by the 'key 144. it will 'beobvlous that the coin magazine-B1515 comprising the end members 1500 and-1514 and the intermediatemembers. 1507, 1 is, mounted at the front of the auxiliary section. Theend members1500 and 1514- have hooks engaging over studs 1669 on theside frames 921, and 921 of the auxiliarysee tion. Said end members havealso thefixed catches 1516 engageable with tliepivotally movable catches1517 which are fixed to a.

shaft'1699, one of the catches 1517 having a vert-ical handle 151 7projecting above the casing and manually operable to rock the shaft 1699to disengage the parts 1516 and 1517 when it is desired to remove themagazine B4515. A spring 1682 maintains the engagement between the parts1516 and 1517. One of the fixed catches 1516, seen in Figure 11, has acam arm 1516' adapted to engage the front end L of a lever L so as tohold the latter a lowered position normally. If the magazine B1515 beremovedby the -operator after he actuates the handle 1517' as stated,the disengagement of the cam arm 1516 from the lever L is effected andsaid lever under the action of the comparatively strong spring L willcause its stud L to act on an extension 907 of the arm 907 in such amanner that the shafts 1068 and A229 are rocked, theresult being theactuating of the connections 522 521 and 54L2'52 7'so that the mechanismof the auxiliary section of the machine is rendered inoperative whilethe magazine B1515 is I In the above operation the disabling key 14 1-is of course drawn down and by the spring 232 is caused to engage at itsnota-h 144 with the keyboard top plate-124 (see Fig. 22). Owing to thisarrangement of the parts the auxiliaryr mechanism will re main disabledeven though the magazine B-1515 is replaced and until the key 144 ismanipulated to 'eflect its release or return to uppermost position. 'Thespring L is a positive actuator and while the magazine 13-1515 isremoved the mechanism of the auxiliary section is not susceptible ofoperative connection with the mechanism of the main sectionor accountingmachine sec tion by any proper manipulation of the dis- 1 or theautomatic operation byjthe spring L abling key 1 14. Under theconditions stated the mec'hanismof, the auxiliary section may bedisabled in two ways; by the ordinary.

when themagazine 13-1515 is detached.-

It is'fto.be observedthat in its broader phase of construction the meanswhich has just been describedis a means to automatr,

cally render inoperative the connections between the main and auxiliarysections of the machine, as an incident to the detachment of one of theessential parts of the auxiliary mechanism. Inth'e case described thisesmagazine, thelatter would be equipped with means equivalent to themeans 1516 and 1516 of .the coin magazine andt he automaticdisabling ofthe auxiliary mechanism or section would be effected under suchconacting parts Control of characterization printing (Zea/ice from'(ZzsabZi-ng "means.

This feature of the invention will be understood on reference to Figures11, 12 and 22.. The shaft A230, Fig. 22, has thereon the rigid arms 156and'157, and the-loose arm 158 adjacent to am 157. The arm 158 isconnected by a spring 211 to the arm 1.57 for reasons not having to dowith the present invention and for the purposes of this description thearm158 may be considered as practically rigid upon the shaft A-230. The.arm 156 projects rearwardlyfrom theshaft A230 and engages the stud 282of the key 1 14, Figures 10 and 22. When the key 144: is in its upper orreleased position the auxiliary section of the machineis. operative andthe engagement of the stud 282 serves to move the arm 156 to the dottedline position of Figure 10,.

The arm 158 has a stud227engageable with the front end of the notched sector 727 mounted to swingon the shaft :8601 ani l having the notches 727 engageable with a stud847 on thp special characterizing type carrier B711, when the latter iscarried upward by a spring 616 acting through a lever 500 in the manner.shown in the WVhite patent previously referred to. Should the.coinmagazine B1515 or any substitute attachment be displaced from itsoperative position as shown in Fig. 11, the spring L will operate thelever L, and co- 7 and 908 will operate key 1 1 1 carrying the stud 282downward out of engagement with the arm 1.56. This will permit therocking of the shaft i-\230 under the action of the spring 852 connectedwith the sector 727 and the latter will be moved to present itslowermost notch 727 for en-" gagement by the stud 847 of the typecarrier l3-711 under which conditions said type carrier will. beprevented from movement to a position in which any of its type my beactuated for printing purposes. 6'oiu-controlled mafiaa'ctuator lookingmecham'sm.

In this manner the latches K willrelease the links 1532 and permit saidlinks'to move rearwards under theaction of the springs 1%679 drawing the angle 'b'ar'J' .rearwardly outof engagement with the projections G of the members G and permittingthelatter to "move outward and downward on their studs H and under theinfluence of the springs 1678. Thisou'tward and downward movement of the'r'nem'bers G will not take place if the-coin holders with which themembers are associated contain a suiiicient number of'coins to make thepayment called for by thetransac'tion performed bythe machine but willtake place ifanyholder does notcontain sufficientcoins for the abovepurpose to pay out the sum called for by the selection. In other words,"sufficient coins to make a pa'y' men't when contained in the coinholders form a barrier against the projec'tions'Gr entering a' coinholder.

7 Associated with each double payment coin holder of'the-type shown inthe Runquist patent previouslyidentified herein is an additionalselector bail 1370 which when actuated by a selector bar 1334-adj'u'ststhe front glejcoin' and also fadjust's the double payment coinstop mechanism; i These bails 1370 are each-provided with a stud 1478 attheen'd adjacent to the coin magazine, The coin stop 1550: ismovableinfront ofthestack of coins inifthe receptacle and consists ofthe o uter 'entl of a. stop leverf155O pivoted at 1691011 a supportingbracket, the 'rear'end of the lever 1550 engaging over a -hooksh'apedterminal'of a'cam'flever' 1382. The

leverf 1382. is'pivoted to a stud'1477' and is adapted to be "cammed'upward by th'e' engagement of the stud 14 78 therewith when j the bail1370 is rocked under the actuation of its selector bar 1334,. Theab'o'veaction of "the bail 1370 is to lift "the lever1382 "so as to rock thestop lever 1550 lowering the stop 15 "'-in 'front' of the second-coinfrom ment.

the bottom of the holderyand simultaneously the stud 1178 is adapted tocam downward the-second lever 1311 which has a portion engagingimmediately over the cooperating ejector 1307 so that the latter isforced do'wnward'sto engage only the lowermost coin in' the receptacle.In this way a single coin ejection is had "instead of the double coinejection for which the parts are normally adj u'st-ed. stop 1550 is infront'of the third coin from the bottom of the holder. Springs 1454 and1660 are connected with the parts 1382 and 1550 respectively.

'Each'lever 1382 has a'c'oopera'ting lever M, see Figuresti, 7 and-16 to19, suitably mounted on a stationary plate 1312. These levers are bestseen in Figures '16 to 19"and "each embodies a long 'arm 1 adapted toengage aprojection G on the feele'r member Gr, according to certainadjustments of the latter to 'be laterdescribedv The member G has aprojection G in the form -o'f a rearward'ly v extending arm (see Figures6 to 9 inclusive) which arm is 'adap'ted to engage an-adjacent detent Fto'project the latter downwardly if the member G 'is permitted to'have'certain movement obtainable only when 'insufli'c'ie nt coins areleft in its coin holder tomake the required payment. Adepression of adetent F by the part G incident to movement of the member G places thedetent F in the path of bail '13091'ready to be actuated on the initialmovement of the handle 13-501,

Normally of course *the wherebyto shift the bar E'and cause locking ofthe main actuator against that portion of its movement by which andduring which the ejecto'r s are operated.

Figs. '6, 7 land 8 show the arrangement for a double "delivery coinholder, while Fig. '9 shows the arrangement for "a single delivery coinholder.

In connection with the double paymentmechan'ism; :it is to be observed,as-shown in Figure 2. that the feelenmember G will be held by the stackof coins out of engagement w th the deteut F when the angle bar J iswithdrawn from 'itslrestraining engageexlia'uste'd from said 'coi'nholderthe member (it .vi'l'tof-course assume a position such as shown inFigures 6 and 7, thereby actuating its detent F for engagement by thehail 1309 in such 1 'mz'i'n'n'er as to effect-locking Also in 'Fi'gu're8wherein a stack I movement the bar F for locking the 'main actuatoragainst operation of the ejecting mechanism. The machine'will be lockedif a selection calling for two coins is made an'cl'there remainso'ne'coi'n-on'ly in the coindetentF-w=ith the bail 1309, as when the Fier-prevention of thet'operation "of the holder. If'there remains onecoin in the coin holder and a selection of that amount is made, thepositive coin stop mechanism will be actuated by the rocking of theauxiliaryibail 1370 and as an incident to such actuation 'the leverMwvillbe lifted by engagement of the part 1382 therewith and itsextremity will engage the projection G so as vto lift the arm Gr andpermit return of the detent F to the elevated position out of thepath ofmovement of the bail 1309.

The machine-may thenbe operated to eject the. one coin that remains. a

vOf course if the coin holder is empty and a selection'calling for onecoin is made the lever M will be lifted-but owing to the advancedposition of the feeler member G the projection G will not be engaged bythe lever -M, and consequently the detent F will beheld down and engagedby the bail 1309 when it is rocked so' as to lock the. main ment of thesame;

actuator against the effective ejecting move- There will be associatedwith the single payment coin holders suitable feeler members G such asshown in Figure 9;. Since no doublefladjustment of these members isrequired, theparts for the double adjustment purposes are omitted, beingun necessary. I

- The various adjustments of the feeler members G, the cooperation ofthese memhers-with the fdetents F, and the coaction of: the leversM'with the members (hare features best shown in Figures 6 to 9- and 16to 19 inclusive; All of these figures excepting Figure 9' illustrate thecooperation .1 anism through the detent F cooperatingwith of said partsin connection with the doubleor single payment devices. In Figure 6 theparts are adjusted so that the feeler member Ghas operated tovcausecooperation of the payment calls for two coin ejection and only one-coinis left in the coin holder. In Figure 7 the coin holderislempty and thefeeler member G is operative to adjust its detent ejecting mechanism. InFigure .8 the feeler member G is shown inoperative to'prevent actuationof the ejectingmechanism and one or both of the coins are susceptible ofbeing w bejected." As shown inFigurelG, ifthe sup ply. ofcoins' in thecooperating coin holder is exhausted the member G will drop to thedotted line positionof its member Gr to throw into action the actuatorlocking mechsaid 'member G. According to Figure-17 the member G will beraised from the dotted lineto-the full line position if one coin remainsinthe magazine in the double pay ment c'oin holder, and a single coin isselected for ejection. According to Figure 18, the part G will not beraised when two coins are selected and one coin only is in the magazinebecause the member 1 G will, have dropped sufiicientl far that the uppeiend M of the lever M will, pass theiprojection u andnot prevent thedepressing action of the lever G in respect to its detent F. As

regards Figure 19, this figure is illustrative of the mannerin which theportion M of the lever M is adapted to pass the projec-r tion G whenthemagazineisempty and one or two coins are selected for ejection,

the condition'being that the lever fails to interfere; withthedepression of the co- 7 operating detent F.'
